Pity Party-OT

I can't believe your step mother is so mean!!! I had a cat who ran away we thought, but the cops picked him up, and lied to us when we called about him. The police said they did not have him, but they did, and thought he was a cool cat,....they then tried to put him into the cop car to take him to the shelter, and he bolted! When I asked about it, they said they did not pick up a cat, then they admitted it like 8 hrs later, so he had almost a full day head start on us! End of story, he came home like 3 months later!!! Someone had him and they let him out and he came home. I am sooo sorry, I am praying for you! And yes, mean people suck! Love you!! ((((HUGS)))) Deb

Thanks Deb, I really needed some warm fuzzies and you guys are always there. Thanks for your prayers. Love you too.

Barbara, I am so sorry that you are having to deal with this. I have a sister who is just like your step-monster, and a monster-in-law that comes close. Why are some people more concerned with how things make THEM look, instead of the heartache that their loved ones (and I use that term loosely) are suffering? As for your dog, they are family not pets. Some people get that, but most people don't. As for the eating, don't punish yourself with self-sabotage because of some witch who will always be there to bring you down. It will serve you better to not show that she gets to you. That just drives them crazy- kill them with kindness. You are finally doing something for YOU and you MUST keep your focus through out this testing time. You will pass if you realize that it IS a test. I hope that the situation smooths out with your canine-kids and all is resolved- including the fence. hugs! Blessings! Prayers! Christine

Thank you, Christine, You hit it on the head about people only caring about how things make them look. Ordinarily, I just feel sorry for them and all they miss out on, but this pushed me over the edge. I do use the "kill her with kindness" technique on her. It really confuses her. But, oh, I've come so close to the edge....I've got the babies back now, so we'll see what happens next. Thanks for your support. Love, B

Barbara, I am about to join you on the crying... I am such a dog lover and have 2 of my own and can not image having them lost for this long. I will say prayers for you and your babies. I hope you find them soon. I would also call local husky rescue groups as well as the SPCA to file a Missing Dog report. Call all the SPCA's not just the ones in your county. And about your step-mom. She is evil. Anyone that enjoys others pain are just plain evil. And I am firm believer that what goes around comes around. I hope you find those babies soon. About the fence issue... Have you thought about getting a large kennel for the outside with tie-outs. That way you can have your babies with you at home and not with that evil person, your step-mom. Just an idea. Hugs Julie

Good news - the two missing babies are home with me on tie-outs!! I did find the other one at the SPCA yesterday. I do believe in evil and what goes around, but, boy, sometimes you have to wait a long time to see it come around. I just hate to feel this way about anybody, even if they drive me to it. It's just bad karma and wastes my positive energy. Thanks for your support. Love, B

Oh sweetie, I am so sorry about your puppies. My dog's are my babies. And your stepmother sounds horrible. I know it's hard, but just smile at her and say "I'm so sorry that I can't be perfect like you". I've discovered that if I say that enough to the mean people in my life, they get so confused. I've been eating too much also. Isn't it frustrating that even though we are losing weight like crazy - when push comes to shove, we want that food for comfort. Please somebody, invent a sugar free, fat free, and calorie free cheesecake!!!! Kelly and I are learning how to knit so that we won't have free hands for eating I am praying for your puppies. I miss seeing you and all of the LCBB's, Life has been hard for me too lately, I miss the hugs and support. I know things will get better. Hope to see you soon Mary

Y'now, she actually goes around saying that everything she does is perfect. How sad. Anyway, I usually avoid her as much as possible and if not, I kill her with kindness and make a quick get away. But, the puppies are home with me now, so this adventure has passed, thank Goodness. I'm sorry that you've been struggling. Knitting is a good idea. Then you'll have something to show for all that extra energy. This is really the first time I've turned to eating from stress. I wasn't THAT bad, but I sure didn't want it to get out of control. And the next time I get stressed I'll be more aware. It didn't make me feel any better in any way. My stomach is still all in knots because I'm disappointed in myself. I know I'm only human and I've learned from this. Hope to see you soon for some of those hugs. We all need them! Love, B
